affection towards SD vs. affection towards wife - during visitation

Mrs Katch 22's picture

I've been struggling with this for quite some time. It started in the beginning when SD was 7; when we first started getting visitation with her. I was DH's constant before SD came into the picture on a normal basis (usually the kid is always there, then the stepparent comes into the pic).

bio meeting, any bm's out there for advice on this one?

any bm's out there for advice on this one?

sd (13-yrs) is displaying behavioral problems, biting hitting spitting on bf. also, most recently sd acting sick and missing school - very convincing too (only beginning of 3rd quarter and sd has missed 3.5 days). sd forgets to take her medicine (medicine could be making sd ill). talks back to bf and me, always arguing/bickering.

bm is coming over tonight to talk about sd's behavior and medication.

should I be present?

or should this be between bio's only?

I have only been in the picture 2-years.

Sorry for the vent...I'm just sick of being #2 in this relationship..Sometimes I wonder why I stick around for the love part of this whole situation..."golden child" is coming to visit this weekend and of course everyone has to make it a big huge situation...I've never asked for a pat on the back or credit for the crap I have done and gone through for my fiancee...This is the way it's going to be every other weekend...he's going to get to do whatever he wants here and go places whether he behaves or not....I can see it now...and of course my daughter will be shit on all weekend...I don't kn

SKIDS

told me last night that they loved me. I almost cried. Their mother is such a bitch that it is so hard for me not treat them how i feel about their mother. They live with their grandparents b/c BM's BF father told her that her and her kids can not live with them. So she took SKIDS back to live with her mother. I see them more than she do. I would love to treat these kids like my own but some part of me is holding back b/c BM is quick to tell me that i am not their mother. She is a sorry piece of shit.

MY HUSBAND

I have to say my relationship with my husband has totally changed since the experiences with his satan spawn children. Not to mention I am a step-grandmother at the ripe old age of 27 to make matters worse. I am resentful towards him because the decision he makes with his children. It is like a married a different man then who I am with today. Why is he so blind to see what is going on and he wants me to be so happy. Constantly asking how the SD is and if she is better how can she get better when she is never confronted...

And the pendulum swings....

Colorado Girl's picture

It goes up, it goes down and with every down swing there is a click that jolts the upward swing of the otherside....

That is my life and I think I'll take a break for a while. I have to say that if I don't watch the stupid ball go up and down, back and forth....what is it that I'm missing? (For those of you who are clueless, please reference my earlier blogs and see that my mood is completely based on my reactions to this pendulum...or better known as the bipolar BM.)

Question about Visitation.

Anne Summers's picture

My DH is in the military. Thus there are times when he is gone on TDY, Deployment, etc. BM has refused me to pick up SD (even for a day) while DH is gone.

Do any of you have a similar situation (SM or SD)? Are you still able to pick up SKid(s)? Do you guys even tell BM when DH is out of town?

Plus do you know of anything legal that could back me up if I do decide to get SD?
